[JW Lua] FCString:CreateEnigmaStrings doesn't work on long unicode strings, but on short ones

[Jari Williamsson]

Jan,

In your script, replace this row:
print("String:",i.LuaString)

with this:
print("String length:", i:GetLength())

Do you get empty string lengths where i.LuaString seems to result in 
empty strings?


Best regards,

Jari Williamsson
